Live:
Secret Samadhi (lyrics)
(1997)

Let`s go hang out in a mall
Or a morgue
A smorgasbord
Let`s go hang out in a church
We`ll go find lurch
Then we`ll haul ass down through the abbey
Is it money is it fame
What`s in a name
Shame
Is it money is it fame
Or were they always this lame

It`s a crazy crazy mixed up town
But it`s the rattlesnake I fear
In another place in another time
I`d be drivin` trucks my dear
Dear
Dear

Let`s go hang out in a bar
It`s not too far
We`ll take my car
We`ll lay flowers at the grave
Of jesco white
The sinner`s saint
The rack is full and so are we
Of laughing gas and ennui

It`s a crazy crazy mixed up town
But it`s the rattlesnake I fear
In another place in another time
I`d be drivin` trucks my dear
I`d be skinnin` hunted deer
Deer
Deer

It`s a crazy crazy mixed up town
But it`s the rattlesnake I fear
In another place in another time
I`d be drivin` trucks my dear
I`d be skinnin` hunted deer
Deer
Deer
Deer

It was an evening I shared with the sun
To find out
Where we belong
From the earliest days
We were dancing in the shadows

More wine
`Cuz I got to have it
More skin
`Cuz I got to eat it

Inside the outside by the river
Used to be so calm
Used to be so sane
I rushed the lady`s room
Took the water from the toilet
Washed her feet and blessed her name

More peace
Is such a dirty habit

Slow down
We`re too afraid
Let me ride
Let me ride
Burn my eyes
Let me ride

It was an evening I shared with the sun
To find out
Where we belong
From the earliest days
We were dancing in the shadows

Slow down
We`re too afraid
Let me ride
Let me ride
Burn my eyes
Let me ride

Oh let me ride
Oh let me ride
Oh let me ride
Oh let me ride
Oh let me ride
Oh let me ride

People should not be afraid
We came to the earth to graze
No shortcuts to the face
This means you
A child gives you his shoes

People should not be afraid
We came to the earth to graze
If it slithers into the haze
It can`t be true
A child gives you his shoes

In the early morning cut her down
This pill she needs your love
Forget your mother and your father
They aren`t important son
We came to the earth to graze
Everyone`s diggin` in
No there`s no time to live
Live

People should not be afraid
The artist does figure eights
But will it stand the test of time
Or will it rot
Like the mission that tried too hard

In the early morning cut her down
This pill she needs your love
Forget your mother and your father
You`ll fall apart inside
We came to the earth to graze
Everyone`s diggin` in
No there`s no time to live
Live
We came to the earth to graze
Now everyone`s diggin` in
No there`s no time to live
Live

In the early morning cut her down
This pill she needs your love
Forget your mother and your father
You`ll fall apart inside
We came to the earth to graze
Now everyone`s diggin` in
No there`s no time to live
Live
Yeah yeah
Live

I live
Now

Everybody`s here
Puke stinks like beer
This could be a city
This could be a graveyard
You stole my idea
You stole my idea

Everybody`s anxious
For the coming of the crisis
The collapse of the justice
I can smell your armpits
You stole my idea
You stole my idea
You stole my idea

This puke stinks like beer
And everybody`s here
Come on come on come on
Let`s lay waste to this century
Come on come on come on
Return to nothing

Everybody`s anxious
The crowd is all around us
The followers of Aldous
Are spinning with their mescaline
A man behind the altar screams
You stole my idea
You were my idea

This puke stinks like beer
And everybody`s here
Come on come on come on
Let`s lay waste to this century
Come on come on come on
Return to nothing
And help me

Come on come on come on
Let`s lay waste to this century
On the edge of a kiss
Smack on the lips
Dangled with tongue
On the edge of a peace
That can`t stand low
And won`t stand tall

Come on come on come on
Let`s lay waste to this century
Come on come on come on
Return to nothing
And help me
Ooh yeah

Come on come on come on
It`s amazing what we can do with love
With some matches and gasoline
Do with love
It`s amazing what we can
Do with love

Everybody has a ghost
Everybody has a ghost
Who sings like you do
Yours is not like mine
But it`s alright
Keep it up

Boy loses rib in new orleans
He can`t help eyein` up the whores
Under the bridge
Boy loses rib and lets a hellified
Cry into the dark
Where did I go wrong

Where did I go wrong
I never needed this before
I need a woman to help me feel

Everybody has the dream
Everybody has the dream
Like a world tattoo
Yours is not like mine
It`s alright
Keep it up

The scalpel dives into the skin
Good doctors never leave a scar
No proof again
I`ll take the myth
You take the blood
It`s all the same to the world dreamer
It`s all the same in the end

Where did I go wrong
I never needed this before
I need a woman to help me feel

Feel
Feel
Feel
Feel

Everybody has a ghost
Everybody has a ghost
Who sings like you do
Yours is not like mine
But it`s alright
Keep it up

Boy loses rib in New Orleans
He trades some ether for a chance
Under the bridge
Boy loses rib as he`s summoned to the mud
Flat on his back
Cryin` where did I go wrong

Where did I go wrong
I never needed this before
I need a woman to help me feel
Feel
Feel
Feel
Feel

Where did I go wrong
I never needed this before
I need a woman to help me feel
Feel
Feel
Feel
Feel

The baby`s not screaming enough
The singer`s not singing enough
Ramana`s not breathing to us
Behold the unsheathing
It`s love

The blade is not ready to cut
It`s dull from our thinking it`s rough

Free love is a world I can`t linger too long in
Yeah
Free love was just another party for the hippies to ruin
Yeah

Behold the unsheathing
It`s love
Behold the unsheathing
It`s love

Free love is a knife through the jugular vein son
Yeah
Free love
I can`t afford to add up what you fuckers are made of
No

Free love is a world I can`t linger too long in
Yeah
Free love was just another party for the hippies to ruin
Yeah

My brother kicked his feet to sleep
My brother kicked his feet to sleep
My brother kicked his feet to sleep
And I sang
The dirge song

My brother never missed a beat
My brother kicked his feet to sleep
My brother kicked his feet to sleep
And I sang
The dirge song

My brother kicked his feet to sleep
My brother kicked his feet to sleep sweet feet
My brother kicked his feet to sleep
And I sang
The dirge song

Angel don`t you
Have some bagels in my oven
Lady don`t you
Know a man
When you see one
Crazy lady
With the shiny shoes where are you
Kick you`re feet and calm the space that makes you hollow

Little swami`s got his bowl to eat
Little swami always walks his beat sweet feet
Little swami`s got his bowl to eat
And I sing
The dirge song

It`s amazing how they come to see
The little swami with his bowl to eat sweet feet
The little swami only wears a sheet
And won`t sing
The dirge song

Angel don`t you
Have some bagels in my oven
Lady don`t you
Know a man
When you see one
Crazy lady
With the shiny shoes where are you
Kick you feet and calm the space that makes you hollow
Hollow
Hollow

Anal tight-assed soldier with that dogged heart
Put down your gun
We are ready to explode we gotta take it smart
And take it slow
Hey yaa

Angel don`t you
Have some bagels in my oven
Lady don`t you
Know a man
When you see one
Crazy lady now
With the shiny shoes where are you
Kick you feet and calm the space that makes you hollow

Angel don`t you
Have some bagels
Lady don`t you
Know a man
Angel don`t you
Have some bagels
Lady don`t you
Know a man
When you see one

Anyone
Caught in your mystery
Keep it angry
Keep it whispy
I`ve fallen down
Drunk on your juices

Turn my head
Turn my head
It`s aimed at you

Funky temple
Your dress is torn to shreds
Your eyes are crazy
I bowed to save my head and
I can`t forget you
But I can`t remember

Turn my head
Turn my head
It`s aimed at you
Turn my head
Turn my head
It`s aimed at you
Baby
Baby

Oh no
We came to love you
All day these bastards are leavin`
Somebody`s got to stay
Whatever we called you
It`s just a name
Just a name

Turn my head
Turn my head
It`s aimed at you
Yeah
Now
Turn my head
Turn my head
It`s aimed at you
It`s aimed at you

I`ll kill you in my dreams
I turn the other cheek during the day
I`ll kill you all

The subculture of my dreams
Is waiting for me to fall asleep
I know you`re scared you should be
I know you`re scared

Hero

This attic of my mind
These feelings I can`t hide I can`t share
I feel alone
Ah yeah
The subconscious keeps me here
I feel in love with a balladeer
I saw your tongue it licked my heart
They called you queer

Hero
Dreamer
Hero
Hero

They called you queer
They called you queer
They called you queer
They called you
Queer

If the mother goes to sleep with you
Will you run and tell Geraldo
If the mother bears your children without tears
Without the usual costs of labor

If the mother goes to bed with you
Will you run and tell the neighbours
Will you hide behind that get up that you wear
Or will take the first ear that comes into contact with your blade
Like peter did on the hill

Will you call her a freak
Will you call them freaks

If the mother goes to bed with you
Will you run and tell the papers
How she picked you from a line up in Downtown Philadelphia
With a cigarette hangin` out of your mouth 
And Henry Miller in your back pocket
You little fucker

If the mother goes to bed with you
In the bowels of the cathedral
Will you render her asunder with what she really needs
Or will you crash that beautiful silence with some talk about
Finding yourself in your mother`s arms

Will you call her a freak
Will you call them freaks
Or will you call them Gods
Will you call them freaks
You know your sperm is weak
You never looked
So high
To ever find her
So low
You did not have to go
That far

Now you know they`re gonna come for you
And drag your silly name into the mud
If the mother bears your children without tears
And without the usual cost of labor
Burley burley burley

Will you call her a freak
Will you call them freaks
Or will you call them gods
Will you call them freaks
You know your sperm is weak
Now you never looked
So high
To ever find her
So low
You did not have to go
That far
To show her you are
To show her you are
Holy

To show her you are holy
To show her you are holy
To show her you are holy
To show her you are holy baby
Hey yeah

Looks like America`s dropped her load
She was ready to explode
I could not see her from up here
Cuz she was lyin` in the road

My head`s in the ground oh
I can`t make a sound
My head`s in the ground

Looks like America`s dropped her load
She tried to call me on the telephone
Everything is fine now the baby`s here
She`ll have to handle this one on her own

My head`s in the ground oh
I can`t make a sound
The priests were all stoned

California was in my mind
And love was a game that we played
Played

My head`s in the ground oh
I can`t make a sound oooh
The priests were all stoned yeah
The fact that you moaned yeah
My head`s in the ground
My head`s in the ground
My head`s in the ground
My head`s in the ground
My head`s in the ground
My head`s in the ground
My head`s in the ground
My head`s in the ground

If I was half alive
Then you were dead
Subsistin` on
That same old bread

It`s the memory that hides
The whole wide world
It`s the gas hed`s love
Of America

It`s the memory that hides
Take your photographs back
For the love of all Gods
Our gas hed marches on
Our gas hed marches on

He`s a bonified man
A star amongst his clan
And the only one
That let me ride

It`s the memory that dies
Our gas hed was right
When they lanced his skull
There was puss and light

It`s the memory that dies
So take your photographs back
For the love of all gods
Our gas hed marches on
Our gas hed marches

It`s the memory that dies
And make your photographs black
For the love of all gods
Our gas hed marches on
Our gas hed marches on

It`s the memory that dies
Take your photographs back
For the love of all gods
Our gas hed marches on

Gas hed is on the radio
Radio

Gas hed is on the radio

Gas hed is on the radio
